Always remember that feeling of looking at a big, open country over the ears of a good horse, seeing a new trail unwind ahead of you, and that ever-spectacular view from the top of the ridge!!! Follow my training blog: http://robertsontraining.blogspot.com/

I have rode an Arab, trained a TB and ridden and trained QH and Paints. I prefer the latter two. They just have this natural ability to get under themselves and negotiate the quick turns easily, and with less hours spent training. Not saying the Arab and Tb could not do it, they could and well. But I just love working with and training my stock breeds as they seem to just have a knack for it.Posted via Mobile Device

I agree i had a fast little arab gelding but he did have trouble with getting up under himself more then the quarter horses i have been riding. Now he did well and sometimes would really get under himself but they aren't always the best choice if you really want to compete.

lol...and yes nvr2. quarter horse for short speed.quickness.zero to wide open in three jumps and turning..tb for your half mile and up speed. and arabs for those 50 mile races.... so you it all covered..lol...
